Description

Ages: 11-AdultGrades: 6-Adult

Students learn to "read between the lines" and make logical inferences and conclusions about what they read. Comprehension questions teach them to look for hints in the story as they select the best answer choice.

The content is designed to appeal to older students reading below grade level. There are 11 reading passages with three levels of controlled readability: 4.0-4.9, 5.0-5.9, and 6.0-6.9.

Lessons consist of a one-page, illustrated reading passage and two pages of reading comprehension tasks that require students to:

identify the main idea and detect details

think about vocabulary and semantics

paraphrase and summarize the information read

formulate a question related to the story topic

complete a writing activity

The reading comprehension questions are similar to those found on classroom and national reading comprehension tests. Questions challenge students to think about the reading passage and use reasoning skills. Most of the questions are multiple-choice with some true/false and oral response questions.
